The Three Ravens Podcast

Adapted in a light-hearted, comical style from a diverse set of genuine Medieval Arthurian Romances, this special Three Ravens retelling of the iconic 14th century poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is our bonus miniseries for Advent 2024.

The tale follows Gawain, a young knight in King Arthur's court who embarks on a rambling quest, packed with adventures, which takes him all around ancient Britain - a journey which begins at one Midwinter feast and ends at another, exactly one year later.

And, to wish everybody a very Merry Christmas, we proudly present our grand finale! With Gawain now back at Camelot, he finds himself in a whirlwind of old faces, on the eve of his wedding! But who will his wife be, and what about the outcomes of all his decisions since last Midwinter?

Martin’s 25-part comic retelling of the iconic Arthurian poem, folding in several other legends pertaining to Gawain including The Knight With The Sword, Sir Gawain and the Carle of Carlisle, The Loathly Lady, and The Perilous Chapel.

We proudly present our second annual spooky ghost story for Christmas, care of Three Ravens!

Following in the tradition of M.R. James, E.F. Benson, and Charles Dickens, it feels only right to cosy up and listen to something scary on Christmas Eve. This year it's Eleanor's turn, with a stunningly sinuous tale set in Cambridge during the Victorian era. We follow Mercy, a young female student in an exceptionally fraught atmosphere, where spectres of past crimes make their presence known with horrifying consequences...

In Chapter 23, Gawain achieves his goal, of honouring his promise to the Green Knight, and playing the second part of their Midwinter Game. Yet, as axe-heads fall and blood begins to flow, it becomes quickly apparent that all is not as it seems, and perhaps that in never has been...

This week we're off to Surrey, one of the Home Counties - and a place that is being gobbled up by London year by year!

We start by discussing, much to Martin's chagrin, that the 23rd December is actually a Saints Day for about 30 obscure martyrs, recounting just a fraction of who they were and why they mattered. And after that, we dig into the history and folklore of Surrey.

We discuss all sorts, including the tiny house where John Donne and his wife lived and had many, many babies, an extremely tall tower built by an Enlightenment-era loon, the heritage and importance of Surrey's heaths and commons, and plenty else, all before Martin digs through culinary history to uncover some... peculiar delicacies... for this week's County Dish.

On the folklore front, interspersed with some excerpts from next Saturday's Local Legends interview with the much-acclaimed folklorist and author Jeremy Harte, we talk about Guildford's unfortunate dragon, Lord Lyttleton's Ghost, Joan Butts The Witch of Ewell, and much more besides.

Then it's on to the main event: Martin's rather silly story, which is largely based on the truth, "Captain Salvin and his Flying Pig."

Today's chapter sees Gawain finally departing from the Pale Keep and all its weirdness to journey through a blizzard to the Green Chapel.

On this week's episode of Local Legends, Martin is joined by storyteller, author and psychotherapist David England, whose book of Berkshire Folk Tales uncovered a wealth of lost and brilliant stories.

As we discuss, David made a wild change in his career during the 90's, jettisoning his job in IT and selling his house to retrain as a storyteller, then hit the road.

This opened up a wealth of possibilities, including collaborating with Tina Bilbe, the Secretary of the Society for Storytelling on Berkshire Folk Tales, and working with poet Jennie Ruth Bailey on his second book, Lancashire Folk Tales.

Unfortunately, Tina is no longer with us, but is warmly remembered in this chat, not least for her work, scouring archives for the stories which made up the collection David put to paper.

As he recounts, these include a wild range of stories, from epic Viking battles to the near-burning of a Saxon queen to legends of milk-hungry dragons, cannibalistic landlords, and wizards getting spanked out of town.

With David also being an acclaimed psychotherapist, whose book Soulfulness blends contemporary therapies with ancient shamanic practices, as you might expect, this is a rich interview, filled with warmth, anecdotes, and David's reflections on his own retelling of Gawain and the Green Knight, which available on YouTube.

To learn more David and his work, do visit his website – https://www.davidengland.co.uk/ – which links to his books, storytelling videos, and more.
